Your favourite bass line

[wongthecorrupter]

Just been listening to 3 days by Janes addiction, my favourite bass line/ bass playing ever

[Ray Luxury-Yacht]

Jason Newstead's bassline in 'Misery' by Metallica is a nice one...

[RegMolehusband]

Mr. Big by Free


Oh and John Entwistle doing this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRflGVcRxCI

Intro to Peace Sells by Megadeth

Nice n Sleazy by The Stranglers

Or, for something a bit more obscure, Welcome to Dying by Onslaught - incorporates a bass solo towards the middle of the song.

[jenmx5]

Archives of Pain by Manic Street Preachers is definitely one of my favourites

[vinnie01]

Greenday's 'Longview'

[smn159]

Norman Watt Roy on Hit me with your rhythm stick by Ian Dury and the Blockheads.

I rather admire Chas Chandler playing the bass in the Animals "We gotta get outa this place". George Martin rates Paul Mcartney as the greatest bass player of all time. Certainly it is a real struggle to follow Mcartneys riifs personally when doubling on the bass rather than rhythm guitar on occasion. Personal choice I think there are some magnificent bass riffs in pop music.

That's a great riff.

Lots of Maiden bass lines are fantastic - I'd nominate Aces High for a starter or NotB.

[Johnnytheboy]

Almost anything by the original three-man line up of Motorhead.

Let's start with 'I'll be your sister':

Tablet link but I assume it'll sort itself out.

[vx220]

"Lucretia" and "Peace Sells..." are both favourites

But what about "Radar Love" by Golden Earring?

[Justin Cyder]

I like Marcus Miller very much. If you remember that Skeelo rap hit - I wish, from years ago, it sampled Bernard Wright & here's a good feller covering the original song...if that all makes sense.
